Class of 2019 Puksta Alumni Spotlight: Marika Fama

Posted on September 4, 2019

University was an awakening for Marika. As her mind expanded, her eyes opened to the injustices and struggles of the world. Embracing her heritage and her identity as a first-generation student, she looked towards assisting others in helping them regain their cultural connections through food. Not only did her work bring home to the table of many estranged from their native lands, increasing awareness of food sources also served a dual purpose in alleviating food insecurity for many. She plans to attend graduate school where she’ll focus on food communication where she intends to further close the distances between nations and perceptions through the kitchen. You have given the Puksta organization a feast of achievements to celebrate Marika and today we offer you praise!
